Hi all, 

I'm announcing a new project here - "binhost"

"The Gentoo Binhost project aims to provide readily installable, precompiled 
packages for a subset of configurations, via central binary package hosting. 
Currently we are still in the conceptual planning stage. "

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Binhost

If you're interested in helping out, feel free to add yourself on the wiki 
page.

Note that I see actually *building* the packages not as the central point of 
the project (that could be e.g. a side effect of a tinderbox). I'm more 
concerned about
* what configurations should we use
* what portage features are still needed or need improvements (e.g. binpkg 
signing and verification)
* how should hosting look like
* and how we can test this on a limited scale before it goes "into production"
* ...

Comments, ideas, flamebaits? :D

Cheers, 
Andreas
